Given what you've been through - your attitude is just amazing, @relign - all the best for your appointments with the Oncs .... I hope the pain subsides & you are able to eat solid food soon.
When my husband was ill & unable to take solid food, I used to make 'smoothies' out of 'anything'! A currie (with extra gravy/sauce) could be pulverised into a liquid & just swallowed. I used to do the same to Roast Lamb & mint sauce & veg & many other dishes .... I would smash them to a liquid (so he gets the flavour of the food), just not the texture, until he was able to get onto solids. Be adventurous with your food - I also used to 'value add' custard and cream to an old fashioned Egg Flip & other 'puddings', to add some 'depth' to it ... and some calories. Rice Pudding & peaches pulverised together is LOVELY too. I hope you don't lose too much weight whilst on the liquid diet.
